China urged the United States on
Wednesday to immediately withdraw sanctions that Washington imposed on
Beijing as part of its efforts to pressure North Korea into halting
development of its missile and nuclear weapons program.

In
a news conference, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying
told reporters that the country "especially opposes any country
conducting ‘long-arm jurisdiction' over Chinese entities and
individuals."\

Hua added: "Measures taken by the
United States are not helpful in solving the problem and unhelpful to
mutual trust and cooperation. We ask the United States to correct its
mistake immediately."
